Becoming Catholic (RCIA)

Are you interested in becoming Catholic? Do you have a friend or loved one who is thinking about joining the Church? Please contact Kris Kranenburg with any questions or to become part of our RCIA program.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process for individuals to become members of the Catholic Church. It is a spiritual journey that culminates in the reception of the sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist) at the Easter Vigil. Along the way, participants build their relationship with Jesus Christ, deepen their understanding of the faith and the Church, experience the support and fellowship of the parish community, and participate in a life of liturgy, prayer and conversion.

Groups who might attend RCIA sessions include:

Unbaptized individuals and families considering joining the Church through Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Eucharist

Adults baptized in another Christian tradition seeking full communion in the Church through Confirmation and Holy Eucharist

Baptized Catholics who never received the sacraments of Confirmation or Holy Eucharist

Catholics who want to learn more about their faith

Classes meet most Tuesday evenings from September through the Easter season, 6:30-8:00 p.m., in the parish center. All are welcome!
